Providence Park is the home of the Portland Timbers soccer team, as well as a private event space. Since its construction in 1926, the stadium has undergone several name changes and played host to different sports teams before becoming a dedicated soccer stadium. The site has been used for spectator sports since 1893, when it was known as Multnomah Field and is located near downtown Portland directly on the MAX line, and its renovations and additions have helped it remain a year-round community asset able to host numerous events of varying sizes throughout the year.
